Country:  | What is your favorite car?
I'm a car guy as well as a airplane guy! Just wanted to see what everyone's favorite car is, or what everyone's dream car would be!
I'm a HUGE Mopar guy, so for me it would have to be a 68-70 Dodge Hemi Charger. Or maybe a 69 AMC AMX. For a custom car, it would have to be a 49-51 Mercury lowered and chopped, with flames just like my Dad used to have. For a import, it would be a early 60's Jaguar XKE.
What would yours be?

Country: | My all time favorite is the 49 Mercury. I never owned one, but I did
steal one many, many years ago. I swiped a black convertable with a
white top. I put 18 miles on and and parked it. I guess the guy got it
back, I have no way of knowing.

As for MY favorite car, it would have to be a Lamborghini Countach LP5000S.
